Liquid crystal display and driving method thereof

A driving method of a liquid crystal display using a first dot inversion giving opposite polarities to adjacent pixels, the method comprising:

• determining if an area occupied by patterns where a gray difference between two adjacent pixels representing a color among a predetermined number of successive pixels is larger than a predetermined range is equal to or larger than a predetermined area with respect to the entire pixels;
• and
• changing the first dot

7-11. (canceled)

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel including a plurality of data lines extending parallel to each other in a column direction, a plurality of gate lines extending parallel to each other in a row direction, and a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix for displaying images based on signals from the data lines and the gate lines;
• and
• a timing controller changing an inversion type of the liquid crystal display into two-dot inversion if a flicker that an area occupied by patterns where a gray difference between two adjacent pixels representing a color among a predetermined number of successive pixels is larger than a predetermined range is generated.
